There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back, Sugar, Mystic, June 2021 (Music Video) An outstanding rendition of Shawn Mendes' "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back," performed by some of the region's most talented musicians, featuring Rickie Louise Miller on vocal, with Marcy Kelly and Sugar, the band that fills the dance floor, every time, on the first note. This footage is essentially unedited. The camera guy did good, and didn't need to splice his way to a smooth and enjoyable experience. All I did was some color correction; shot with a single camera, no splices. There was a great turnout for the outdoor show at the Mystic Seaport, and as happens sometimes, Marcy let Rickie take the wheel for much of the show; Marcy manages the band but it's a two-girl show with three girls sharing the duties, which, in my opinion, has led to some endlessly fascinating combinations of style and personality, and a hugely wide basket of tunes. And when Marcy lets go of the reins, she has lots of time to dance! Just watch! :) I'm taming the Osmo gimbal vidcam! And what a wonderful show it was on this beautiful sunny day! xxx Marcy Kelly, vocals Rickie Louise Miller, vocals Matt Dean, percussion Izzy Malek, keys and vocals Andy Chaney, bass Ben Larose – drums ### Mark Urso mark@markurso.com @MusicVidNet https://markurso.com/theres-nothing-holdin-me-back-sugar-mystic-june-2021-music-video/

Written by Iris Dement Performed by Mark Urso From "Infamous Angel" (1992) DeMent was inspired to write her first song, "Our Town," by a drive through a boarded-up Midwest town at the age of 25.[4] The song lyrics came to her "exactly as it is now," without need for re-writing, and she realized then that songwriting was her calling.[4] "Our Town" was played during the closing scene for the final episode (July 26, 1995) of CBS's television series Northern Exposure. The song has been recorded by Kate Rusby, Kate Brislin & Jody Stecher and Trampled by Turtles. LYRICS and MORE information: https://markurso.com/our-town/

Written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin From the album "Madman Across the Water" Performed by Mark Urso This is a beautiful, rambling ballad typical of some of the cultural topical stuff Elton John produced in the 1970's. This is from "Madman Across The Water" (1971), words by Bernie Taupin. It's about an Indian who finds himself alone when his tribe is lost at war. It's a big brown bear to play and sing. :) Indian Sunset (John/Taupin) Lyrics As I awoke this evening with the smell of wood smoke clinging Like a gentle cobweb hanging upon a painted tepee Oh I went to see my chieftain with my war lance and my woman Oh he told us that the yellow moon would very soon be leaving This I can't believe I said, I can't believe our warlord's dead Oh he would not leave the chosen ones to the buzzards and the soldiers guns Oh great father of the Iroquois ever since I was young I've read the writing of the smoke and breast fed on the sound of drums I've learned to hurl the tomahawk and ride a painted pony wild To run the gauntlet of the Sioux, to make a chieftain's daughter mine And now you ask that I should watch my red man's race be slowly crushed What kind of words are these to hear! From Yellow Dog whom white man fears! (transition) I take only what is mine Lord, my pony, my squaw, and my child I can't stay here to see you die, along with my tribe's pride I go to search for the yellow moon and the fathers of our sons Where the red sun sinks in the hills of gold and the healing waters run Trampling down the prairie rose, leaving hoof tracks in the sand Those who wish to follow me, I welcome with my hands I heard from passing renegades Geronimo was dead He'd been laying down his weapons when they filled him full of lead (transition) Now there seems no reason why I should carry on In this land that once was my land I can't find a home It's lonely and it's quiet and the horse soldiers are coming And I think it's time I strung my bow and ceased my senseless running For soon I'll find the yellow moon along with my loved ones Where the buffaloes graze in clover fields without the sound of guns And the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior comes with a bullet hole ###

With Brandon Raimondo on drums Recorded Feb., 2019 at River Song Music Mark Urso, vocal and guitar https://markurso.com/raining-in-baltimore-video/

With Brandon Raimondo Written by John Mellencamp John Cockers I don't accommodate nobody! I just take care of myself Got a house down on a dusty road - I don't need nobody else I got a wife and some kids ... I don't know where they're at I know many many people, but I ain't got no friends Well I used to have some values; now they just make me laugh I used to think things would work out fine but they never did do that All these bosses and the rules! It's hard for me to fit in Must be ten million people, but I ain't got no friends Well I'm a little isolated! - I live most days in my head! And when I go to sleep at night I got no sheets on my bed I'm a little hard headed ... I can't wait for this to end I see people coming and going, but I ain't a got no friends Well I look out of my window into the darkness of night My head gets to spinning so I shut out the light I don't care if I see tomorrow! If I had a reason I'd pretend I know one thing for certain! I ain't a got no friends Well one of these days my anger, get the best of my soul In one desperate moment I'm gonna dig me a hole I'm gonna lie down in it and let be what will be When the morning sun rises there'll be no one to mourn for me When the morning sun rises there'll be no one to mourn for me I don't accommodate nobody! I just take care of myself Got a house down on a dusty road - I don't need nobody else I got a wife and some kids ... I don't know where they're at I know many many people, but I ain't got no friends I know many many people, but I ain't got no friends ###

Performing at the Pheonix nightclub in Pawcatuck, CT Featuring Rickie Louise Miller, vocal and percussion, and Brian Merritt, vocal and guitar. This was the band's debut live performance, September 2021. Miller does not normally sing with this band, but joined them for this very special performance. The band was outstanding! The song is by Sneaker Pimps. Lyrics Take me down 6 underground The ground beneath your feet Laid out low Nothing to go Nowhere a way to meet I've got a head full of drought Down here So far off of losing out Round here Overground, watch this space I'm open to falling from grace Calm me down Bring it round Too way high off your street I can see Like nothing else In me You're better than I wannabe Don't think 'cos I understand I care, Don't think 'cos I'm talking We're friends Overground, watch this space I'm open to falling from grace Talk me down Safe and sound, Too strung up to sleep Wear me out Scream and shout Swear my time's never cheap I fake my life like I've lived Too much, I take whatever you're given, not enough Overground, watch this Space, I'm open I fake my life like I've lived Too much, I take whatever you're given, not enough Overground, watch this Space, I'm open To falling From grace.

Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodeloo / Franklin's Tower / Deal - Mystic Dead live at The Knickerbocker February 14, 2020, Westerly, RI This band is almost as sweet as sugar! A great performance for a happy Valentine's Day crowd at Westerly's Knickerbocker Music Center. This is a 26-minute medley using two cameras. Mississippi Half Step Uptown Toodeloo, Franklin's Tower and Deal. This is really fun! As you might expect at a Dead tribute concert, my b-roll came out better than my a-roll! This is not about Twinkies or rollin' in the hay! Canon XA-30 camcorder on a tripod, DJI Osmo Pocket gimbal camera in flight! The Canon performs big zooms with glass magnification nicely, which is what I'll add next field trip, because this time I just put up the Canon and left it there. I put an external microphone (Comica CVM-VM10) on the Osmo and the audio from that device was better even though I was in motion, and that's compared to a the top-of-the line Rode on-camera mic, which is on the Canon. At 2:20, the b-roll audio is mixed in ... from zero to 2:20 it's just raw Canon audio. The audio you hear (post 2:20) is a mix of 100 percent from the Osmo blended with 70 percent volume on the Canon audio. The Osmo did well! Next test I will also (note to self) down-adjust the input volume on the Canon, which was on auto; if the music is loud enough, these devices will automatically compress the sound. Perfection is near. The best flying shot might be at 25:20. I was walking backwards; the effect is killer. It's just a short bit of movement, but really shows how easily the camera can mimic some very expensive equipment that you not only don't have to buy, but you don't have to load in or carry. The Osmo is just a small device with an iris-less lens mounted on a motorized gimbal at the top. With the selfie stick the company makes, I can easily get it above the heads of the audience, putting me right where I want to be, wherever that may be! You can see the flying well, starting at 25:20. At 13:38 you can clearly see how I'm holding the Osmo; watch the keyboardist while zoomed out. Mystic Dead is Toby Kniffin, guitar and vocals; Ian Kelly, guitar and vocals; Paul Sauvageau, keys and Vocals; Marty Moroney, bass; Jason Hartley, drums. I do this to make great video and build a portfolio. I try to be inconspicuous and not scare folks off the dance floor with my camera. I also never tell the band I'm coming, so what you see is more or less my photo-bombing the shows of very talented musicians! It's 100% authentic! I want to bring them to your little screen, from in the middle of the audience, and create media that will also look good on the big screen, with high quality audio! I'm sure sometimes I've opened the eyes of potential fans, but also of the musicians themselves, who, sometimes for the first time, get to see and hear themselves from the audience's point of view. Please feel free to contact me regarding audio and video, and comment generously! These guys did an amazing job! This is definitely a show you should go to! Thanks to The Knickerbocker Music Center, Mystic Dead, Shawn Allen and Mark Connolly! Now grab that volume knob, wake up some kitties, and roll away the dew! ### Mark Urso mark@markurso.com @MusicVidNet
